Syntax

   The setting of the FOLDER-COLLECTIONS option can be a list of
   values, where each value specifies a folder or folders on the
   local system or accessible via an IMAP server, or specifies the
   new mail folder accessible via a POP3 server. Folders on the
   local system or accessible via an IMAP server are specified using
   the format:

optional-label {imaphost}optional-file[view]

   or

optional-label {imaphost:port/user=username}optional-file[view]

   OPTIONAL-LABEL is a label which will be displayed by Pine in
   place of the full name of the folder collection.

   The optional field IMAPHOST is the name of a host where the
   mail file resides. IMAPHOST can be any system which has an IMAP4
   server, and need not necessarily be an OpenVMS system.

   The optional PORT specification can be included if you want to
   connect to a port other than the default (for IMAP) of 143.

   The optional USERNAME can be included if you want to log in to
   the IMAPHOST under a different account name.

   The optional field OPTIONAL-FILE is the file specification
   of a mail file. If OPTIONAL-FILE is omitted but IMAP-HOST is
   specified, then the default mail file on the remote IMAPHOST
   system will be used. If neither OPTIONAL-FILE nor IMAP-HOST is
   specified, then your local default mail file will be used.

   When OPTIONAL-FILE is specified for an OpenVMS host locally or
   remotely running PMDF's legacy IMAP server, it must have the
   format

   #disk:<directory>mailfile.mai#

   where DISK, DIRECTORY, and MAILFILE.MAI specify the full path,
   disk, directory, and file name, to the mail file. For instance,
   to select the mail file MEMOS.MAI of DISK$USER1:[BOB], you would
   specify

   #DISK\$USER1:<BOB>MEMOS.MAI#

   Finally, the VIEW field controls which folders from the mail file
   are part of the collection. If specified as being empty, [],
   then all folders from the mail file are treated as part of the
   collection. Wild cards can be used to select folders matching a
   pattern. For example, [INFO-*] would select all folders beginning
   with the string INFO- from the mail file. Again, note that folder
   names are considered to be case sensitive.

   For POP3 access to a new mail folder on a remote system, the
   format is:

   "foldername" {pop3host/POP3}INBOX

   or

   "foldername" {pop3host/POP3/USER=username}INBOX

   where FOLDERNAME is the name by which Pine will refer to the
   folder, POP3HOST is the name of the system running the POP3
   server, and USERNAME is the name under which to log in to the
   remote POP3 server.
